Day Camp At One of Seattle’s Premier Parks

A great view from Carkeek!

Located along the Puget Sound approximately 9 miles north of downtown Seattle, Carkeek Park is comprised of 220 acres of forest, wetlands, medow and beach. Campers enjoy hiking trails, beach access and plenty of greenspace for group activities.

A Week of Fun & Exploring the Outdoors!

Every week, campers will have a special theme that will inspire our special activities and guests. We encourage campers to try all of these wonderful activities and to share what they are passionate about too!

Day Camp Teens

Our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program is more than just a summer camp opportunity—it’s a leadership training experience designed to prepare teens for future roles as leaders, mentors, employees, and team players. Through hands-on activities, mentorship, and guided reflection, participants develop the skills needed to thrive in professional and personal settings. While it’s not required, it also sets teens up for success to volunteer at day camp. 

Explore the goals and the benefits of our CIT Program.

Volunteer at Day Camp!

Camp Fire relies on our amazing adult and teen volunteers to make the magic of Day Camp happen for kids each summer! Volunteering is easy and fun and the best part – making a difference in the life of a child!

All of our Day Camps have opportunities for both adults and teen volunteers entering grades 9-12.

New timing!

You asked, and we listened! This year, we’re thrilled to announce some exciting updates to better serve our families. We’ll be starting 30 minutes earlier, giving campers even more time to enjoy their favorite activities. Plus, we’re introducing aftercare to make pick-up times more convenient for busy parents. These changes are designed to ensure a smoother and more flexible camp experience for everyone. We can’t wait to see you this summer!
